Narada Purana — Purva Bhaga, Shloka 83
Vyākaraṇa-saṅgraha: Pada–Vibhakti–Kāraka–Lakāra–Samāsa
विवक्ष्यते न व्यापारो लक्ष्ये कर्तुस्तदापरे । लभंते कर्तृते पश्य पच्यते ह्योदनः स्वयम् ॥ ८३ ॥
vivakṣyate na vyāpāro lakṣye kartustadāpare | labhaṃte kartṛte paśya pacyate hyodanaḥ svayam || 83 ||
Wenn der Wille zu handeln entsteht, gibt es in Wahrheit kein ‘Vollziehen’, das dem Handelnden als Ziel eigen wäre; die Menschen schreiben nur einem Täter die Täterschaft zu. Sieh: der Reis kocht gleichsam von selbst.

FAQs

By reducing egoic doership, a devotee offers actions to Vishnu without possessiveness—service continues, but the ‘I am the doer’ notion fades, deepening śaraṇāgati (surrender).
No specific Vedanga is taught here; the verse is a moksha-dharma instruction using a common illustrative logic (dṛṣṭānta) to clarify agency rather than a rule of grammar, astrology, or ritual.
